Visual Arts Professional Learning

Our staff recently had the wonderful opportunity to engage in a professional learning session led by the passionate and highly skilled Mrs. Savage. This workshop proved to be an invaluable experience, enriching our understanding and practice of visual arts teaching.

Mrs. Savage shared her deep expertise in a variety of printmaking techniques, providing hands-on demonstrations that allowed staff to explore new creative methods. Everyone walked away feeling inspired to try the fresh ideas in our classrooms.

A key focus of the professional learning was the upcoming Visual Arts syllabus changes set to be implemented in 2026. Mrs. Savage guided us through these updates, helping us understand how to align our teaching with the new curriculum requirements effectively.

Mrs. Savage also shared her recent learning at the Art Gallery of NSW. She discussed ways to incorporate First Nations techniques into visual arts lessons in a culturally sensitive and authentic manner. This insight is crucial in fostering respect and understanding of Indigenous cultures within our teaching practice, ensuring that our students receive a rich and inclusive arts education.

We feel fortunate to have benefited from Mrs. Savage’s expertise and passion, which will undoubtedly enhance our visual arts programming.
